Signor President of Confindustria, Lord and Gentlemen,

the date of 27 June, day before the Council of Europe, has proven to be an obstacle to fulfilling my commitment to attend this meeting. At this very moment I am in the Chamber to gather the will of the Deputies on the position that the Government, through its President, will take over at the next summit of 28-29.

Nonetheless, I want it to come to this meeting, together with my apologies for the involuntary absence, a short message from me.

1° The Chapter 2 of the Report on “How and why to strengthen Europe” is the best most recent analysis I have read on the subject. I feared that this topic could not even be discussed in Italy and reading the document reassured me and encouraged me to address the problems under discussion in Brussels by leaving the ccontingent and framing them in the need and urgency of changes in institutional architecturealand dell’EU. Congratulations therefore to the authors of the Chapter and to the Presidency who wanted this meeting-debate.

2° The first, the third and fourth blocks of theIntroduction contain a summary of the contents of the European matters waiting to be regulated. They are therefore an excellent agenda of the choices that must be made. Obviously it doesn't mean that I agree with all the initiatives proposed as a solution, but if we agree on the objectives, an agreement can be found on the technical tools. Read More

The latest from the EU: the web without images (and without ideas). It's called censorship. I'm not there. And you?
by

Of Marcello Foa
Screenshot 2018-06-24 all 16.16.34They've been trying in every way for a long time, in the United States and, above all, in Europa. Those who follow this blog know how I think: since the establishment lost control of the Internet and especially of social media, conveying non-mainstream ideas and encouraging the affirmation of alternative movements, those who are contemptuously defined as “populists”, any pretext is good to encourage measures to limit freedom of thought. They tried using the battering ram of "Fake news" and the attempt is still ongoing, in these hours they are using another lock pick, he copyright.
As he reported, in perfect solitude, Claudio Messora up Byo Blu the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, on the proposal of the inevitable German commissioner Oettinger, gave the first green light to the Copyright Act, that in fact, if it is also approved in the Chamber, will allow the introduction of censorship measures.

The article 11, establishes the so-called “link tax”. We're not talking, to avoid misunderstandings about films or songs or entire books, but we are talking about the text that, quoted verbatim refers, “even to the smallest fragments of articles containing news”, that they “must have a license”. You know that little preview text that appears next to or below a link, in the absence of which no one in their right mind would dream of clicking? Ecco, that should also be properly licensed!

Messora explains, which continues like this: Read More

Sensational collapse of Italians' trust in European institutions
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Italians are opening their eyes to the big scam: trust was at 70% In the 2011, today it collapsed at 34%
Of Antonio Socci

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The recent Ipsos survey on Italians' opinion on the European Union went almost unnoticed. Yet it is a hot topic and the popular response is decidedly embarrassing for mainstream living rooms and academies, who have a monopoly on public discourse.
In essence, Italians' trust in European institutions has plummeted. In the 2008 it was around the 75 percent and again in 2011 reached the 70 percent: today it collapsed at 34 percent.
Italy was once the most pro-European country on the continent and today it is one of the most eurosceptic. Never had trust in European institutions been so low.
We were pro-Europeans because they had made us believe that it was all a fabulous dream towards cosmopolitan happiness, like a gigantic edition of “Games without borders”, a mass Erasmus with the background of”Ode to joy” by Beethoven.
And they made us believe that the Euro was “the land flowing with milk and honey”. Rivers of rhetoric, of false promises and illusions.
Then the awakening. The precipice that goes from 75 percent per 34 per cent resembles the sudden awakening from a dream. It is the bitter disappointment of those who open their eyes to something (or someone), after having greatly deluded himself. Photograph the shock of those who realize they have been deceived. And he feels betrayed.
It is the state of mind of those who thought they had embarked on an earthly paradise and instead found themselves in hell. A utopia that becomes dystopia (or even cacotopia).
HOW ITALIANS HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES?
The reasons are many: the discovery of European institutions even worse than the Italian ones in terms of bureaucratic obtuseness and costs; the arrogance with which Italy is treated (also due to the subordination of past Italian governments); the feeling that there is someone who dominates like Germany, while Italy suffers the decisions of others.
But above all, dal 2011, two enormous phenomena have opened the eyes of Italians. Primo: the migratory invasion that Italy had to endure, alone, paying very high economic and human costs. With Europe that – in words – he gave us lessons in do-goodism and then closed the borders.
Second: the consequences – devastating for Italy – of the economic crisis of 2007-2008 which have dissolved all the fake promises about the euro and the European Union which – to listen to the propagandists – they would have protected our country from storms.
In recent years it has been discovered that in Italy – numbers in hand (but also from empirical experience) – we are much worse off than we were 25 years ago, before the Euro (as income, living conditions and how wealth is produced).
And everyone knows that for the first time our children – victims of massive youth unemployment and precariousness that ruins their future – they will be worse off than us. For the first time in our history.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS DECIDE
Furthermore, we realized that we are no longer masters of our destiny, that we are governed by foreign and unknown nomenklatures that none of us have ever elected. That foreign governments decide on us and impose their will in Brussels.
So we have the feeling of having been expropriated of our democratic sovereignty without anyone ever asking us for permission.
It's a right feeling. It corresponds to what happened from Maastricht onwards. Expropriated of sovereignty without our knowledge. After all, this is the real strategy pursued by the architects of the European Union.
It was expressed by Jean Monnet, who is one of the demiurges of the European institutions, In the 1952. He said: “European nations should be guided towards a superstate without their populations realizing what is happening. This objective can be achieved through subsequent steps, each of which is hidden under a purely economic guise and purpose”.
Hearing these words, Charles de Gaulle replied that Monnet wanted to create “supranational monstrosities”.
But over time it is precisely Monnet's technocratic plan that has prevailed. And here we are today “supranational monstrosity” to which the peoples of Europe are beginning to open their eyes. And to demonstrate their intolerance.

Euro Italy: the blackmail of Target2

Euro Italy: the blackmail of Target2
Source: Heretically
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is probably the best economic journalist in Europe. From the columns of the conservative Daily Telegraph, his gaze sweeps over the business international without blinders and, above all, without becoming a megaphone for the interests of the upper levels. His recent speech should prick up the ears of observers and decision-makers in our country. Evans claims that a creeping flight of capital from Italy is underway. The proof is our liabilities in the Target2 system of the European Central Bank. In a month, increased by 39 billion up to 465 billions of euros. One of the causes would be the possibility that the issue becomes operational (which Evans sarcastically calls subversive) day Minibot, the parallel currency intended for Public Administration payments, but usable in general, since every means of payment works on a fiduciary basis, that is, if people are willing to accept it.
The worry (or the secret hope) of the markets is that Italian private savers, holders of very significant sums,join the exodus. The first consideration is that capital flight comes from large investors, by funds and investment banks, supported by the ECB itself. It therefore has an eminently political character, exactly like the manipulation of spread, not in the hands of metaphysical markets, but the Central Bank's blackmail weapon. Read More

The truth about migrants

Of Gianfranco La Grassa
The truth about migrants
Source: Conflicts and strategies
Tonight I admit that I clearly agreed with Meloni (to “white paper”): both on the topic of immigration and on that of the Roma. Those who are Italian citizens among the latter must behave and be treated like other Italian citizens. And they cannot stay in "nomad camps". Anyway, I imagine that those who know how to use the internet will find the intervention of the "sister of Italy" "quelque part" (scherzo). A statement from him, in particular, I found myself in complete agreement because it corresponds to what I have been thinking and saying for some time. It doesn't make much sense just to want an agreement with other European countries, especially France and Germany, which until now had turned a deaf ear and today, after the clear stance taken by the new government (of one of his ministers in particular), show some solidarity. In particular, Merkel is benevolent, which sees a situation of possible beneficial crisis finally taking place in that country between the CDU and the CSU, so dry that it even put the government already made up of two parties that were heavily beaten in the last elections in serious difficulties (especially the socialist as is happening throughout Europe!).

Alert “Swexit”, Sweden tries to leave the EU

Of Alessandra Caparello

From rallies draped with swastikas and swastika tattoos to the Swedish government: This is what the members of the SD aspire to, having thus cleaned up their image by calling themselves not racist but rather social conservatives.
“We believe in social values ​​and try to protect them, for example fromimmigration (…) If populism means being close to people and understanding their needs, then we are populists. But if it means that we don't have an ideology, we're going astray. We have a strong ideology based on two cornerstones: a welfare state with strong national security”.

Draghi: sulla fine del QE "non è detta l'ultima parola"
by

Mario DraghiReporting of Wall Street Italia
Of Alessandra Caparello
Inflation is on the right track but “there is still a need for significant accommodative measures”. Go back to talking about Quantitative easing the number one of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi during his speech at the Sintra Economic Forum in Portugal where his colleagues from the Fed and the Bank of Japan, respectively Jerome Powell and Haruhiko Kuroda.
For Draghi thelast word regarding the end of Qe.

"In the 2017 Eurozone growth was higher than we had expected: growth on annual basis recorded in the fourth quarter was the strongest in a decade. But in the 2018 growth has slowed and, until now, it was lower than our expectations (…) Regarding the ECB's monetary policy, as indicated last week the progress made so far towards a sustained adjustment in inflation has been substantial. The expected end of our net asset purchases in December this year is subject to new macro data confirming the medium-term outlook for inflationinflation. Furthermore, the asset purchase program can always be used if contingent events arise that we cannot see at the moment.".

Draghi underlined how confidence in the return of inflation towards the long-term objective has strengthened significantly over the last few months., but uncertainty permeates theeconomic outlook.

“With long-term inflation expectations well anchored, the underlying strength ofEuropean economy and the continued large degree of monetary accommodation allow us to be confident that inflation will converge towards our objective and that this convergence can be maintained even after a gradual winding down of our program of net asset purchases.".

Therefore, says Draghi, the "monetary policy in the Eurozone must remain patient, persistent and prudent”. Read More

Image results for Merkel's endEurointelligence – The CDU/CSU is in open revolt against Merkel

“Pwe really think that the Greeks and Italians will continue in the established tradition of negotiating bad deals that are unfavorable to them?”
Of Saint Simon - June 16, 2018
There is a government crisis in Germany, due to the conflict between Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, president of the Bavarian Catholic Democratic Party CSU, and Chancellor Angela Merkel. The object of the conflict is immigration policy: Seehofer, in view of the October elections in Bavaria - the southern border of Germany on which the Mediterranean and Balkan routes converge - he would like the total rejection of refugees already registered in other EU countries at the borders; Merkel is seeking a softer approach so as not to exacerbate tensions in the European countries on the external border, and now it finds itself in the difficult position of depending on bilateral agreements with the Italians and Greeks for its political survival. He will probably try to offer large concessions in exchange, but in any case it would only postpone the showdown: Immigration continues to be the potential explosion of the shaky European balance. And Eurointelligence.

Austerity? Nonsense, word of the ECB

Austerity? Nonsense, word of the ECB
Source: Heretically
Consulting foreign newspapers broadens your horizon. Far from our home journalism, busy rummaging through CVs or fueling fascist hunts - now it's the Minister of the Family's turn Lorenzo Fontana – we can read interesting news carefully hidden from us. An example is the European Central Bank report entitled “On the sources of economic cycles. Implications for DSGE models.” The acronym means General Equilibrium of Stochastic Dynamics. In the initiatory jargon of economists, stochastic stands for probabilistic, and talking about probable scenarios is already a nice bath of humility on the part of the snooty masters of histograms and mathematical models. Economists are very good at explaining in retrospect how things did not go as they had predicted. Il report of the ECB follows the opposite path, a commendable example of realism and concrete research. Read More

Luigi Bisignani at IL TEMPO: Matteo's secret plan
by

Image results for the man who whispered to the powerfulL’“man who whispers to the powerful” expresses his opinion in one of his usual Sunday letters to the editor of The weather, second newspaper of the capital. The reader will wonder why these sporadic spaces are given to those who are extremely distant from our positions in many respects. Well, after meeting him, the reason is easy to say: l’ “man who whispers to the powerful” can say things, sometimes, more interesting than others. No offense to those who don't whisper anything to anyone… On the contrary…(N.d.R.)
Of Luigi Bisignani
Dear director, Matteo Salvini, like a lion in the savannah, sniffs the air and prepares the next attack to conquer more and more territory. The first moves went better than expected and now that it has placed the immigration front at the center of the European debate, among other things, ridiculing Macron and taking Merkel's applause, can handle “from above” relations with his allies, Forza Italia and Brothers of Italy, who, in order not to be destroyed, will do everything not to turn him against each other. The Movement 5 position, weakened for a number of reasons, first of all the internal struggles between the Grillo-Di Battista-Fico group and the Di Maio-Bonafede-Casaleggio group that have been tearing it apart since they began to smell the scent of power, loses more and more consensus. With a savannah with such an arid landscape, the lion Salvini is secretly preparing his plan B: it will be taken, in one shot, those disappointed by Berlusconi, of Meloni but above all a part of that Grillino electorate who can no longer tolerate that summary justice and facade environmentalism that blocks investments and new infrastructures.
